    The Games we play...

    Well, there's been a little excitement overnight. Basically Valve released a content update to Portal, and 12 hours later, we've got screens of what appears to be Portal 2. More explained here, and here. I am excite! I've also got the new achievable, and it's very creepy, having to walk...

    The Games we play...

    Pierre, the closest game to Heavy Rain was Quantic Dream's last game - Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy. It had the same idea of multiple characters and gestures for dialogue options. It had quicktime events (which made a lot less sense), and had a few endings. The story couldn't deviate quite as...

    "Now Showing"

    ^ I saw it on Wednesday (as well as Princess and the Frog, which is AMAZING. Been listening to the soundtrack for hours and hours on Spotify). There's some utterly wonderful stuff in the film. Firth is about as far away from his usual typecast self as I've seen him. He gives off this...

    The Games we play...

    Well, the most interesting thing I find about Heavy Rain is that there are no fail states - if your character dies, the story keeps going, it just changes to reflect that change. You have to roll with the punches - the good and the bad.

    The Games we play...

    Which bit is in the demo? I've been following Heavy Rain pretty much from the beginning, and it's still the only reason I want a PS3. Fahrenheit, their previous game, really sticks in my memory as something that I really enjoyed, even when the story went completely off the wall at the end...

    What are you reading?

    My, that's (one of) my favourite book series! I thought no-one else bar Peter (I asked- nay, begged him, to read them). One of the only books I read with glee and giggle manically every page or so. Not sure the last one ends on the right note, but on the first readthrough (3 years ago?) it...

    Snow!

    "Now Showing"

    Avatar I've never been gobsmacked by a film before. I can't really describe the feeling of awe I had whilst watching the film - aided by the fact that I knew how difficult almost all the stuff they were doing was. It's not a perfect film - it's Dances with Wolves in space with cat people, but...

    USB Stick, iPod/iPhone...or both!

    Both. iPod I don't really use that often now - just for journeys, and only then for music. Flash drive for transferring anything from anywhere to anywhere else. Completely invaluable to me day to day, but I am doing a CompSci degree, and work on my laptop, which isn't connected to the Uni...

    Global Warming

    Leading on from the last video, on the topic of a previous claim that an ice age was on the way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU_AtHkB4Ms I think the problem some people have is the ability to critically think about information they're given and decide from then on, rather than just...

    Global Warming

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nnVQ2fROOg Oh, and if the ice does melt (the stuff that shouldn't), the Gulf Stream'll get disrupted and so we'll have the same climate as Canada. Average temp will be far, far lower. They have polar bears!

    "Now Showing"

    My god that's weird. The first shot of that teaser is a beach I've been to, while the house was there and all. It's so weird seeing somewhere you know so well like that XD At least I can scream in the cinema, "I can see my house from there!! :DD". Woo!

    If anyone wants any invites, I have loads. Ask me on MSN later today (or now), and I'll send them off. I think I have 6 left, so hurry! :P Alternatively, add me. I'll give my address online to those who ask.

    How far do you lower your bar?

    Megafobia is one click every time if you can, no matter where you sit - perhaps two clicks in the back near the end of the day. Madness. Oblivion I tried to get a few looser restraints, and Speed is excellent with a few inches gap, if you can get it. Unsafety ftw!
